Arena Arena

Director: Helen Warner

Year: 2021

An experimental short film that explores the theme of female rivalry within the patriarchal arena. Trapped in a vicious circle fuelled by envy and jealousy, a theatre understudy transcends and finally confronts the real source of her dark emotions.

Body, Remember... Body, Remember...

Director: Matthew Berka

Year: 2026

After C. P. Cavafy. Dedicated to the body, to remembering, to forgetting. When blinded, the senses can cross-pollinate so that they become more closely bonded. Likewise, they can also disassociate and lose contact with each other. Desire transforms things into other things. The erotics of absence and suggestion direct attention away from the materialism of pornography. Longing is described through cinematic space as distance and proximity. Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2026 - World premiere

走 (zǒu) 走 (zǒu)

Director: Hannah Wu

Year: 2025

"A journey through the pages of my mother’s old Chinese-English dictionary, featuring tigers, socialists and roundabouts." An experimental animated short about language, meaning and moving through the world (one drawing at a time). Combining ink drawings on paper with direct animation on 35mm film, various definitions of the Chinese character for ‘walk’ take on meanings in turn literal, historical, personal and abstract.
